[rec.guns] Reloading Bench/Stand

jamaass@zztop.rn.com (Jeffrey A. Maass) (06/18/91)

Has anyone had experience with a commercial reloading stand or 
bench? The one by L.R. Clift (integrated chair and mounting 
platform for press) seems convenient, but is it stable enough
to use properly?

I have room for a fixed workbench, but I hate to tie myself
to one spot in the house, and it might be nice to load out in
the "West 40" (my large backyard) when the weather is nice.

This bench will be used with a Dillon RL550B press.

Any other products I should look at? 

(BTW, the Clift model is $77).

You can't beat a Black&Decker folding workbench.  That's what my RL550B is
attached to.  A friend built me a fixture to bolt the press to.  I then 
tighten the table top jaws onto the fixture.  Can't think of anything that
would work better in an apartment.
